From the Laboratory to the Clinic

Research in Practice

The research began at NFFR in 2005 and in May 2007, the National Foundation for Fertility Research (NFFR) and the Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine (CCRM) began the world's first Comprehensive Chromosomal Screening (CCS) clinical study looking at all 23 pairs of chromosomes in a few cells removed from an embryo on day 5 of development. The goal of CCS is to only transfer embryos that have the correct number of chromosomes, thus increasing the likelihood of a successful outcome. Results show significantly higher pregnancy rates and lower miscarriage rates when compared to IVF without CCS, especially in women 38-42 years of age. Our findings are published in international peer reviewed journals to share with clinics and organizations around the world.

Ongoing research preformed by the National Foundation for Fertility Research is a valuable asset to couples struggling to conceive from Colorado to across the globe.

Testimonial

Patti, Denver

“We got married later in life but still wanted to build a family together. There were many challenges we had not anticipated. We began seeking treatment in 2000, and we are now blessed with two boys, Ethan, 7, and Mark, 3. The work being done by NFFR helped us fulfill our dream. I give thanks every single day for my children.”
